My cousins from LA left this morning quite early on VG airline to Belgium. It was my cousin�s and her daughters� first time in Armenia although her husband had relatives here whom they visited. Even though they had good impressions of the nature and the countless Vanks and Monasteries, and were quite happy with their tours, they were getting more and more depressed towards the end of their trip. They did a lot of travelling out in the regions and were able to see how poorly people lived as well as the status of his relatives who lived in Yerevan. Their parting advice to me was �pack your bags and leave, come one month a year and do some volunteer work�.

Another distant cousin called me from London last night, I met her for the first time in Armenia last month and she�s considering coming to Hayasdan to volunteer for a year.
